The City of DeLand is pleased to announce that it was selected for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG); part of the stimulus money intended to reduce fuel emissions and energy use.
Under this grant, the City will be providing residential and commercial properties in the city limits a free thermal imaging audit inspection. The purpose of the inspection is to measure the temperatures and temperature differences or variations of the visible, safely and readily accessible areas of the building by means of a non-invasive thermal digital imaging camera. The inspection will also report these temperature differences and to identify areas with deficiencies in the inspected systems and components which existed at the time of the inspection and which are evident to the inspector through thermal imaging observation. For information about the parameters of the thermography audit, please download the Thermal Inspection Agreement located below.
Also with this grant, the City will have monies available to commercial building owners seeking to improve the energy efficiency of their buildings. These monies are in the form of sub-grants. This is a first-come, first-serve program, until the monies set aside are exhausted. To qualify for the sub-grants, all projects must improve the energy efficiency of commercial buildings within the City of DeLand by undertaking certain eligible activities. If you are interested in applying for a sub-grant for your commercial property, please download the “DeLand Sub Grant Application” as well as Attachment A and Attachment B, which will give you details on the sub-grant parameters. For more information on the Sub-Grant Program contact Michael Grebosz, Assistant to the City Manager, at 626-7110.
The grant funding for the Thermal Imaging Audit Inspections and the Commercial Sub-Grant Program ends on April 30, 2012.
